Married, 2 sons. Hate Brexit. Love opera, classical music (adore Beethoven), badgers and foxes.
Yep. Utter scum and yet the country proclaims itself as “a nation of animal lovers” and the scum will say that “Townies” don’t understand the countryside. This countryside dweller understands the scum mentality all too well.

Back home after our 3 night jaunt in London. It is the city I was born in and grew up in. It is the city where I spring into life when we go there. It is the city where both my sons were born and the city where they both work and live. I miss it the minute we arrive home!

Halloween selfie (the only selfie you’ll ever see!).
Thought I’d join in because so many kids around here dressed up so well with such an effort. I had fun too.

There were actually six here this evening but getting them to stand where I wanted was an impossible ask.

Have I mentioned how much I love Shostakovich? Or the Aurora Orchestra?

They’re back! When we go away we worry that they will too but all I have to do is call them to let them know “grubs up”!
